Always the same 14 social inequality a lack of the freedom of the press and corruption with on the 4th to stay silent when it comes to the fans the humans and see the microphones who have decided to put their trust in us. My name is Johnny Carson and work. Germany is celebrating its 30th anniversary of reunification imagine 90 west germany and germany reunited to become one nation what was it like join us and shift today to take a virtual journey through time. This is what the building walls look like and unbreachable stone obstacle on the close god dividing the city for most citizens of the g. D. Are leaving the country for west germany was not possible. You had to go to extreme lengths to flee like digging underground tunnels using Virtual Reality its now possible to experience what it was like when people try to escape and on from khosla got to experience what it was like for his grandfather who dug a tunnel underneath the berlin wall. This man in this picture is also measured from go is that hes my grandfather and in this picture you see him building a tunnel under the burden wall losing of your goggles on time from chrysler and social historian emma at that period of time travelling back to the year 964 for the you to show virtually history. I can see him as either he has a plan. Just a few years now but younger is this really is like pretty much travelin in time in 1984 Michael Vaughan koestler and some friends dug a tunnel from west berlin to eastbourne and they wanted to help people to the g. D. R. It took them 6 months of digging and secrets to complete until you can experience the tunnel in virtual space 12 meters deep 145 interest the young tunnel builder from back then is now a pensioner when close Michael Vaughan khosla sees the virtual video of the berlin wall and tunnel it brings back memories from 164. This. Way an exhausting. Especially on the knees always covered in scratches and then to move or. Sometimes we had to lie down today in constant fear of the tunnel lapsing pottage often called. The spite of the risks the plan works out 57. 00 women and children were able to flee using the term which is a place in the. History books. And the famous story was the most thing families escape through a house that stood directly at the parent this could also be relived dont you choose virtually history. Just. Like the. Time i had offers virtual posters exploring east berlin when it was still part of the g. D. R. The bus passes by buildings that no longer exists today which is interesting to locals. Travelling through checkpoint charlie the Border Crossing point between east and west is particularly interesting. I think the most frequently asked question is actually where is the wall. And its of course an enormous responsibility to present and to make this experience relive a ball. But its also a chance to encourage people to think about what they are like them and what lessons we can learn from. What its impressive images today it really does look very different. Is a scholar of Cultural Studies at university in berlin and Kings College in london she looks at the ways in which we are can make history more vivid we ask how effective technologies like Virtual Reality truly are in bringing history back to life. I think these formats work really well and considering how theyre becoming more common for personal use it makes sense to use them for educational purposes but its important to have people there for support and supervision. Thats at a disadvantage is that Virtual Reality is designed to completely envelop and recreate an intensely emotional situation and. This can quickly lead to taking on a position that can be quite problematic especially in historical political education is a very Emotional Experience perhaps its too emotional of an experience to be used to teach history. Objectively luckily theres another way to time travel games in the adventure game the berlin wall players have flee the d. D. R. The developers of the game hope that it can help educate young people about what life is like to tell a tarion state now when exactly was this wall thats probably the most frequently asked tourist question. A are can out without. Suddenly the. Complete with border patrols tanks and watch towers. Using augmented Reality Technology the uk displays the virtually on your smartphone or tablet. You can even jump through the decades and see how the border with. Was transformed from a barbed wire fence into a concrete wall this. Is the most fascinating moment for me is when you put your phone aside and you still have this lingering impression that the objects are still there and that is connecting history to reality in a way thats impossible to do with a book or a movie. The berlin wall was located just a 10 minute walk from our studio here obviously to test the b. S. Already its pretty interesting but im not fully convinced yet even though it provides spatial imagination of the was boarded during a different historical period im sticking with photographs of course theres more to the g. D. R. Than the wall citizens dont like having their lives reduced to that if you would like to take a more personal look at everyday life in the g. D. R. The project open memory box might be for you a german argentinian filmmaker and a canadian political scientist got together to archive and digitalize home movies recorded from 947 to 990 and now publicly available its their contribution to a more comprehensive understanding of life and the g. D. Life in the g. D. R. 18 millimeter film personal memories spanning 4 decades 7 years ago in lawrenceburg falzon oberto herskovitz made an appeal in the newspaper for 8 millimeter films shot during the g. D. R. They never thought that they would be able to collect more than 2200. 00 from rolls. 415 hours a film has now been digitalized been archived and published on the open memory box website you can filter your search west pacific date or let yourself drift through the. Selection terms like freedom hubby or yellow to see 2 2nd film snippets repeatedly recombined randomly. And these 2 sections are listen many stories in a cell thats something that Digital Technology allows. If you look at the clips one after the other it changes and it looks a little bit different interest has a different effect it does. Just send. These are videos that people innocently shot for themselves or their family. Does. And thats the big difference compared to our behavior today of course. We also film our surroundings our children look at the food we and the places we travel to. But the difference is that were also always aware that we might post or share these videos. Whereas this material on the other hand was never intended to be shared widely. But falls in herskovitz visited the people who either films or appeared in the videos. They were then asked to comment on the. Morning sometimes at night i would dream of going to west london to see what it was love. Open memory box and more personal. And unique glimpse of life in the g. D. R. And whats offered in the history books what a great project but for some memories of live in the g. D. R. Less pleasant the ministry of state security stasi spied on its own citizens when it became apparent that the g. D. R. Was ending they tore up the stasi records but not completely 600000000 scraps of paper were left. Now Artificial Intelligence can help to reassemble them. The computer is doing this puzzle using the scanned fragments of records 600000000 little pieces are stored in the archive and then you fraction of them have been digital. It would take centuries for humans to complete this puzzle and thats why the. Size of the fragments is a very special challenge there was for example and a for which was torn into 143. 00 pieces and the. Challenge really. Is the creator of the. Machine vision at the institute for internet. Since the eightys its a technology that enables computers to recognize and identify objects even without a template. Vision is necessary because there are many visual processes where human beings are unable to. Medical actually images for example. Machines are more effective than humans in processing large amounts of pieces and complex shapes like that. Each piece memorizing content paper type these cash. For priests. Then self learning algorithm reassembles those things that have been identified as belonging to gether. Pilots resemble the 23 bags filled with paper scraps was exposed to the 1st they had to be digital that serene 700000 little pieces which are all grew the was able to reassemble. Problem even though the software was working the scan it turned out to lack the necessary precision. And his team came up with new plans for a rather of course about 6 counties that would enable greater precision but they couldnt get the necessary funding. Even though they no longer scanning stassi for the technologies being used around the world today a program very similar to the president is being used to put fragments back together that would destroy it like these from the 1994. Community center. Or these books and documents from the cologne city which collapsed in 2000. Meanwhile there are still thousands of bags full of shredded secrets in the stasi documents archives waiting for a machine to put them back together again. Finding the right puzzle piece from 600000000 little pieces its impressive what i can do to me projects like v. R. Time right make history more tangible i also remember more details what do you think which project impressed you the most and what time period would you like to travel back to. On facebook or d w dot com and dont forget to have a look at our you tube channel where theres a lot more on video thats it for today and see you soon. After.
